John Williams, a renowned expert on the Commentary, shares a lifetime of study and offers new insights on these strikingly illustrated manuscripts. As he shows, the Commentary responded to differing monastic needs within the shifting context of the Middle Ages. Of special interest is a discussion of the recently discovered Geneva copy: one of only three commentaries to be written outside of the Iberian Peninsula, this manuscript shows both close affinities to the Spanish model and fascinating deviations from it in terms of its script and style of illustrations.Literary Collections / MedievalbisacshHistory / Europe / Spain & PortugalbisacshHistoryAnthologieslcgftLiterary Collections / MedievalHistory / Europe / Spain & PortugalHistoryWilliams John336862Martin ThereseScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9911033669003321Visions of the End in Medieval Spain4532470UNINAConcerto
